Alexandria: Egypt’s Window to the Mediterranean
Welcome to Alexandria, Egypt’s most romantic and cosmopolitan coastal city - where Greco-Roman ruins line sunlit promenades, and the whispers of Cleopatra still linger in the sea breeze. Located just a few hours north of Cairo, Alexandria is your perfect blend of history, culture, and Mediterranean charm.
Whether you’re exploring ancient catacombs, sipping coffee along the Corniche, or watching waves crash beneath the majestic Qaitbay Citadel, Alexandria invites you to slow down and savor a side of Egypt you never expected.
Where the world once came to seek wisdom.
Legends of Learning, Light, and Legacy
Once home to the legendary Library of Alexandria and the towering Pharos Lighthouse, this city was one of the greatest intellectual centers of the ancient world. Though the originals have been lost to time, their spirit lives on in the awe-inspiring Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a futuristic complex dedicated to global learning.
Step into history at the Roman Amphitheatre, wander through the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, or uncover treasures at the Alexandria National Museum. Here, Egypt’s Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, and modern chapters all intertwine - a layered story waiting to be explored.
Sea breeze escapes and cultural charm year-round.
